Investigation Into Child's Injuries, Flaxmere
Police
continue to make inquiries into the critical injuries
sustained by a 4-year-old boy in Ramsey Crescent, Flaxmere
on January 29, and are seeking any further information which
may help. Detective Inspector Mike Foster says they
are some of the most severe injuries he has seen on a child
in 30 years of policing. The child remains in a
serious condition in a ward in Starship Hospital, and is
likely to be severely disabled and brain damaged if he
survives. Police have been speaking to a number of
people in relation to the boy’s injuries, but would ask
anyone else who may be able to help, to come
forward. “We would urge people to do the right thing
by this child and help us work out exactly what’s
happened,” Detective Inspector Foster
says. “Please let us know anything that may help, no
matter how small.” Information can be passed
anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or you can
call Hawke’s Bay CIB on (06) 873
0524.
